Hmm. I certainly didn't re-open the thread. I didn't post the same post in different threads. I became aware of a head of state thread and used it, simply because it elevated the distinction of the deceased and was the most apt imo. Yeah the forum needs streamlined, but I've been here less time than most and this is the first forum I have ever joined. The niceties may escape me at times, as does the term "post whore", which I've never heard of until now. I always try to do better. But threads can always be merged and posts moved by the mods if they feel appropriate, surely. E.g. when I posted about balcony deaths earlier, I was simply unaware due to my time on the forum of a few months that a Hotels thread existed, and DDT kindly moved the post. (I didn't re-open that thread). I certainly don't go looking for old threads to resurrect (to use an apt word). Hope this helps you understand where I am on this.

This. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-32958574 It seems to me that every time a UK resident dies on holiday, a balcony is implicated. There seem to be quire a lot of balcony deaths. Fear the Balcony!

When I had my minor heart attack in January, it was March before they offered me even an investigation as to whether to get a stent. (I declined, I had a premonition that I would take an allergic reaction to the stuff they put through you). He's on my DDP list now, the privileged so-and-so, quicker you get your stents, quicker they fur up imho! Enjoy being added to DDP next year!
